[Green Party of California Updates]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Help Elect Malik Rahim to Congress!

We have an incredible opportunity.

Congressional elections for the 2nd District in New Orleans, LA will take
place Dec 6th and Malik Rahim, founder of Common Ground Relief, is running
in for Congress. Malik's Democratic opponent, incumbent William Jefferson
was indicted earlier this year for corruption. We have the chance to put a
Green in Congress who will stand up for people over profits.

Malik Rahim has a lifelong commitment to justice and an extensive track
record of transformative community building. Under Malik's leadership, the
Common Ground Collective opened the first free health clinic in the city of
New Orleans, helped reopen schools, gutted over 3,000 homes that needed
repair in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, and provided direct services to
nearly 200,000 returning residents. He is former Black Panther, co-founder
of the anti-death penalty group "Pilgrimage for Life," with Sister Helen
Prejean. On November 12, Malik Rahim received the Thomas Merton Award for
his work in community organizing and providing relief in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina
